UNITY OF EFFORT HEEDED TO BRING FARMERS RELIEF 1 Z- c Stewart 11 . It seems to be human nature for everyone to" want to lay the blame for low prices and unsettled markets I upon the other person. ."Passing the buck." a this habit has been called, '( has become chronic with the" Amer- lean producer as well as with the manufacturer and the retailer, rit -'Is rather nice to be able to quiet one's conscience - by figuring out ' how some other group Is responsible for the unfavorable conditions which are met I from day to day. But really the only I way to better these cosdltions is to look I the proposition squarely ' in the. face, admit at least a portion of the blame, I aitd tike steps to remedy the condition. - ; Truly, producers bave had a bard row I to hoe for many years. AH sorts of j impositions have been worked upon them f and there has apparently been no way j to solve the problem and -obtain Justice for the farmer. Each individual has been sinaing bis own plaintive song-, be- com Ins more and more pessimistic and J allowing: others to play upon this very trait to their own advantage. ? IDEAS JJOT SCFFICIEJTT I - An Individual producer can say very I little -or do nothing which will really f change policies, systems or laws which I affect his welfare. While he may evolve I a new idea; yet without someone to help I take hold and . put this idea across, it is almost impossible to put the idea into effect. . -- - i ; I What fs needed is less talking; and 1 more concerted action. Action not for i each individual In a separate way. but by a" group which Is organized about a central commodity or for some distinct 2 and definite purpose, 'this group might I be a marketing organization or, better still, representatives from the various commodity ' associations ; which would work for the good of all. , 1 Such a group ia typified by the American Farm Bureau federation, which is already in action and but needs the support of more people to bring about better conditions for the American producer. ''.- ' I TBAIfSPORTATIOX BIG PROBLEM A few things the producer needs and must have are already being worked for by the farm bureau. High transporta tion charges now offer the biggest prob lem to be solved by all farm organiza tions. It catches fanners coming and going, for It has made possible the prof itable selling of their commodities at any distant market and in many cStaes the local markets will consume but a very smalt portion of the total crop. On the other hand, when they? go to buy either farm machinery, household goods Or fur nishings, the high cost of transportation is always met as a factor in the price, even though some of these very .com modities may be produced in a nearby locality. -.- - . Still more important -Is the finding and developing of markets to insure a fair price for farm products. The most logi cal .'means of doing this seems to , be through the cooperative marketing as sociation which, when properly supported by .the majority of the producers. has already proven its ability to accomplish this' end. . -i '-v - BO AD TO CONSUMER SHORTENED These marketing associations are mak ing it possible to greatly shorten the road between the producer and the con sumer. They are also providing a means for; the financing of , the producers so that the entire crop output of the coun try will not be forced upon the market during a short period of time, which baa resulted in a great fluctuation' of prices. at all times harmful; to a majority of the producers. ; : , .- ..- The forming of these marketing- or eCbmpIefe ' BaBBSaBSBBSBBSnseSBWBSaBSajSSP I i JERSEYS HOLD ATTENTION THIS WEEK .

A few beauties of the breed that has been the center of attraction the past week. The best of opportnnl - tics will be offered those wishing' to start In with registered stock durinff this week when three import ant Jersey sales will be held. For ty head will be sold at the State Fair grounds on T June 7, and a like number near Marion on Jane 8. : Among the 40 which will be sold near Dayton on Jane 9 is a son of the now famoos bnll Golden Glow's Chief. ''. : . I ganlsations has been? hampered mainly because of the selfish views taken by some of thej producers who have pre ferred J to stay out of : the association, trusting that the work of the association would j be of benefit, to them . without thejr having to spend a dime or put forth any effort toward making the as sociation successful, i These "slackers,' as they might be called, "have worked more harm than the - combined efforts of all the middle men; who are naturally putting up aj strong fight to keep down cooperative 'marketing. Without this group, which has refused to cooperate, the opposition of the others would be entirely.; futile and shortlived. - What, then, is the greatest need at the present time. Is :- for each individual to do his part, and through the combined efforts of all of the producers, gain the object for which all are stritjingr more economical production, cheaper transpor tation, and more direct marketing. When this is accomplished, no producer will be anxious to blame everyone else for unsatisfactory conditions, for such con ditions will be eliminated. .
